I saw this really nice fish at the lfs today, ive never owned cichlids b4 mind you.. so i dont know that much:confused:
they had this fish in with a few other fish and one frontosa..
all i can remember that the card said it can reach 4-6" and its blue..
its tail looks awesome thats what caught my eye..

pic somewhere on this page...
kinda like a pleco tail..
do you know what it is?




and i was telling them about how i saw this really nice fish on Youtube with beautiful orange tail... i found out it was a green terror..
but they said it could also be this other fish..
i forgot the name, they said it can breed easily grow to 6" and has orange on its tail.. they were all silver with a bit of orange but they said that they get blue/green colour...

Could be an Acara of some kind did it look sorta like this guy? If so it's a blue acara, Thay also sell GT under Gold Saum and White Saum.
Hope that helps

Lol, the one in the vid is a green terror. OR you can say it's a false green terror. :P OR just a Gold saum. True green terrors don't get as large as the saum do, some member was selling true greed terrors a while back, probably still is today.
 
if it had orange on the tail and the blue green color that your describeing, i'm 95% sure you saw a gold saum- a kind of green terror.

yes acestro is still selling true gt's at this momment.
 
Green terror is a common trade name for both gold and white saum.

There is no need to call them false green terrors.
